Is Football Really Safe?

​By: Hailey Rea

So, is football Really Safe?

Clearly, boxing and football are not equivalent. Boxing is a small-market sport that is already dying a slow death as it sees attrition of its fan base. Football, on the other hand, has nearly 1.5 million youth participants, is one of the most popular sports in this country, and is supported by a huge collegiate and professional corporate structure.We must also recognize that participation in football, and team sports in general, has major benefits for fitness and character building. Participation in sports counters the major public health issues of obesity and, perhaps more importantly, the “disengagement” that we all observe in kids these days. Every parent of a teen, and even young children, realizes that a “virtual” world has often replaced the real, live interactions kids used to regularly experience. I strongly believe that participation in team sports has a major positive influence on youth, and we cannot discount the positive impact of this aspect of football. Ultimately, if a child is passionate about football and no other sport or activity, they are almost certainly better off playing football than being inactive and alone.In an article published this week in The New England Journal of Medicine, titled “Tolerable Risks? Physicians and Youth Tackle Football,” Dr. Kathleen Bachynski challenges the AAP and medical community to take a stronger stance against tackling.

​

I can certainly appreciate her perspective, and personally, I’ve gotten to the point where I have trouble watching football because the high cost to the well-being of the athletes outweighs the entertainment value.Youth athletes have lots of other options that share many of the recreational benefits of football with far fewer risks, so why does football remain so popular? Because as a society, we like to watch football. Collision sports have been on the rise since the latter half of the 20th century, before which relatively obscure sports such as rowing, were considered among the national pastimes. But today, football is highly popular, highly profitable, and supported by major corporate influences that keep it front and center in public opinion. It is not likely that it is going away.

"I had concussions as a kid playing football & basketball, and know what is feels like & to have someone say 'Just rub some dirt on it, and get back out there.' "

Concussions in FootballConcussions and other types of repetitive play-related head blows in American football have been shown to be the cause of chronic traumatic encephalopathy , which has led to player suicides and other debilitating symptoms after retirement, including memory loss, depression, anxiety, headaches, and also sleep disturbances.​

On NBA opening-day rosters (compared with 491 on the 2017-18 opening-day roster list), and there was no list of the number of foreign players in the league.

Kids getting Bad Grades

Don’t you hate kids that disrupt you in class or are very disrespectful? I think that it is not the right thing kids should do when they are in class. It makes teachers very stressful, and makes them mad a lot. We should help them out and make them better students

First, Kids get bad grades in school because they don’t want to do their work or something is happening out of school. Kids usually act different in school when something is wrong happening at home. Like if kids have a argument that was really bad with their parents, they would be sad and want to be lonely all day. Or if someone died in their family then they would be acting different and maybe start bullying other kids. Then they would also refuse to do their work.

Then, Kids are sometimes disrespectful in class because they are being bullied in school or out of school. Kids behaviors would change when something in their life changes and usually it would be bad. If they are being mean and not doing what you are telling them to do, they are most likely have bad things happening with them.

Next, How will we stop these kids from being bad? We can ask the kids what is making them do this and help them by talking to their parents also. Then we can do whatever they say that is bothering them. Then see if they improved and they are better kids now. Every teacher wishes they had a very respectful class and had awesome kids that always did there work. We can make a awesome class by keeping kids safe at school and having kids have fun. If kids are having fun and learning then that would make them happy and do what they are suppose to do.

In conclusion, Kids get bad grades in school because they are having a bad time or they are just lazy and don’t want to do it. Most of the time it is what happens outside of school that they are having bad behaviors, they are having a bad time at home. Also when kids are disrespectful and just not cooperating in class it would be because they are being bullied at school or something bad is happening at home. This is when we need to go and ask them what is wrong and talk to their parents to what is happening. We should help out the kids so then all teachers can have awesome classes without any disrupting and disrespecting kids.

Gleeking

​

Once a decent amount of saliva has been collected in/around the gland, push your tongue against the roof of your mouth quickly. If you have done that correctly, a line of saliva should shoot out. It is a great way to impress or gross out your friends!

However, if you are unable to gleek, don’t blame your parents, for the ability is not hereditary. Gleeking is something that must be learned, some catch on faster and other's need more time to exercise their submandibular gland.

And now, to finish this all up is the world record for the farthest flying spit: 163 impressive centimeters by Skylar S from Jacksonville, Florida.

I bet you all are wondering the same thing, ‘What in the world is gleeking?’ well, look no farther because I’m about to tell you all about it. In short, gleeking the end result of activating your submandibular gland, and it comes out as an arched jet spray of spit.

Now, I’m sure a new question has arisen regarding the submandibular gland, well I’ll answer that as well. The submandibular gland is the weird “U” shaped thing on the inside of your mouth around where your tongue is connected to your jaw. Go ahead and check in the mirror so you know what i'm talking about.

Well, how does one activate the submandibular gland? It is most commonly activated when you are chewing something sour or chewy. Another way I find easier and more convenient, is to eating by chewing your tongue and create spit inside your mouth. I know it sounds weird and gross, but hey, it works.

​The Ridiculous Amount Of Mess Found in Schools​​

Are Janitors Underappreciated?

By: Hailey Rea

​In the school there is too much mess like seriously. Ms Booth says that last year girls were vandalizing the girls bathroom with permanent marker. They had to re paint almost every day. People also clog the sinks with paper towels and toilet paper. Also just little messes in the hallway like paper and food. People if we could limit the mess to the cafeteria and also pick up your mess in the cafeteria.​

​B

Its Upsetting How Hard They Work For Little Recognition!

What Can We Do To Help?

Over all people probably don’t even know who the janitor is yeah you know they are the people that cleans up all your messes, also you probably don’t even know their names which is sad, because if they weren’t here then our school would look like a hurricane hit it. But no they cleans our entire school all by themselves alone.

​

Dr.Cole says that students help out many times in the school year. If you see trash in the hallways pick it up and throw it away in one of the many trash cans around town. In last period put the chairs on the tables, you could leave appreciation notes. The paw pat festival was one of the biggest messes in the school year.

The Solar Eclipse

By:Summer Zheng, Luis Crespo,Zachary Berrios, and David Villegas

There are many mysteries about the Solar Eclipse but me and my friends here will answer some of those mysteries of the Solar Eclipse.

Some information about the solar eclipse is the difference between the temperature drop during a solar eclipse. In some places the temperature dropped about 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit like in Tennessee. My journalism teacher Mr.G told me his brother in Tennessee felt that the temperature had drop at least 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. According to the solar eclipse news it state the temperature in south florida was 3 degrees lower than it was before.

Our second question was how powerful does the lense of the sunglasses need to be to observe and look at the solar eclipse? The lense of the sunglasses need to be as thick as a welder shield to observe the solar eclipse and believe me the sunglasses you need to observe the solar eclipse are quite a lot of money. Also if you look a the solar eclipse it can affect your eye if you look at it with a naked eye!

Our final question was that where could you see the eclipse and according to Mr.Rys he was in Missouri when he saw the eclipse. The Solar Eclipse has also been from South Carolina all the way to Oregon.

In conclusion, Thanks to our research we know that the solar eclipse is so powerful it can blind your eyes, it can lower temperature, and finally it can be in so many places and although we have gather so much information but the solar eclipse is still an amazing mystery to humankind !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
